Israel is Moral

This is justice Iranian style.

On Sunday, August 15, a 16-year-old girl in the town of Neka, northern Iran, was executed. Ateqeh Sahaleh was hanged in public on Simetry Street off Rah Ahan Street at the city center. The sentence was issued by the head of Neka’s Justice Department and subsequently upheld by the mullahs’ Supreme Court and carried out with the approval of Judiciary Chief Mahmoud Shahroudi. In her summary trial, the teenage victim did not have any lawyer and efforts by her family to recruit a lawyer was to no avail. Ateqeh personally defended herself. She told the religious judge, Haji Rezaii, that he should punish the main perpetrators of moral corruption not the victims. The judge personally pursued Ateqeh’s death sentence, beyond all normal procedures and finally gained the approval of the Supreme Court. After her execution Rezai said her punishment was not execution but he had her executed for her "sharp tongue".

And this is justice Israeli style.

The High Court of Justice on Wednesday canceled land seizure orders issued by the army applying to 30 of 40 kilometers of the route of the separation fence west of Jerusalem because of the "disproportionate harm" it would cause the 35,000 Palestinians living in the area.

The decision, handed down by Supreme Court President Aharon Barak, Deputy President Eliahu Mazza, and Justice Mishael Cheshin, establishes criteria for dealing with more than 20 other petitions protesting the route of various sections of the fence in the central part of the country and greater Jerusalem.

The petition was submitted by attorney Muhammad Dahla on behalf of many Palestinian villages in the area, including Beit Surik, Bidu, El-Kubeiba, Katanna, Beit Anan, Beit Likya, Beit Daku, and Beit Azaja, and farmers and landowners (emphasis mine - Ed) whose lands were either confiscated for the fence or cut off from their homes by the fence.

What's the relevance? That Israel is moral. That Iran is not. And that therefore articles like referred to here are as morally bankrupt as is Iran itself.

And that it is a good thing that this site exists.
